<br />Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br />Mayor and City Council 8.5 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />General Business July 19, 2021 Michael Hecker, Parks and Recreation Director <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Active Elk River Youth Athletic Complex Cal Portner, City Administrator <br />Project Septic System <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br /> <br />Action Request <br />Approve, by motion, the contract for Youth Athletic Complex (YAC) Septic System Improvements to Septic <br />Check for $179,990.00. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />This project includes construction of a new septic system, trench drain field, service connections, and restoration <br />of impacted pavement/turf areas. The septic system will support the renovated concessions building and new <br />restroom building approved by City Council April 5, 2021. Installation of the septic system will be concurrent with <br />renovation of the concession building and construction of the new restroom building. <br /> <br />The bid opening for YAC septic system improvements included three bids. The low bid was Septic Check at <br />$179,990. This is higher than the updated engineers estimate of $170,000 which has been consistent with all of our <br />construction bidding due to COVID inflationary costs. The Active Elk River budget for YAC is $2 million. After <br />the installation of the athletic field lighting and playground the balance was $708,194. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />Sewer infrastructure improvements are an eligible expense for ARPA funds. The Park Dedication Fund also has <br />sufficient funds available for consideration. The field lighting and playground, completed in 2020, were both under <br />the proposed budget. The 2021 expenses, including the septic and concession are above estimates. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Ethical, efficient, and responsible <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Bid Tabulations <br /> Septic Check Bid Form <br /> <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br /> <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity. <br /> Updated: August 2020 <br />
